St. Christopher Alumni Association (SCAA)
Dear St. Christopher Alumnus/a,
Welcome back and thank you for registering as a member of the St. Christopher Alumni Association (SCAA). Your membership is very important for our stability and growth, and we ask you to spread the news by encouraging your classmates, family members and friends who attended St. Christopher’s School to also register.
We have organized SCAA out of affection, love, and loyalty for our school. On the receiving end, you will get a chance to reconnect with many of your childhood friends through class & school reunions / info from our newsletter and other future events. You will also be able to network with other graduates of St. Christopher’s in creative ways. On the giving end, you will add an important voice to St. Christopher’s School one that will provide a larger sense of community, and work to provide for some of the school’s emerging needs.
The St Christopher Alumni Association (SCAA) was established in September 2007 where we identified four immediate priorities. The first was to set up a database of St. Christopher’s alumni. The second was to have class representatives organize their respective classes. The third was to establish a committee to oversee the organization and development of the Association. The fourth was to develop an alumni link with the school website. The response from the beginning has been overwhelming with 1200 graduates now registered from virtually every class.
In October 2008 we held the 1st All Class School Reunion Weekend with over 600 Alumni participating. It was organized by the Alumni Committee with support from the School, Parish Organizations, Pastor, Principal and Teachers. It was truly a magical weekend for everyone and was the official kick off to our organization. We also raised over $10,000 from the weekend events which was donated directly back to the school.
Our calendar of events for 2010 is located on web page www.stchristophersi.com (Alumni Page) or our newsletter which is mailed out twice a year. We hope you will join with us, your fellow classmates, friends and family to be part of the St. Christopher Family once again.
Sincerely,
Fr. Dennis
